Pretty much the title. The key word is “secretly”.

I’ve heard it’s been happening and I’m genuinely interested in hearing what made you tick the other box? Or why you felt that you needed to make that choice in secret.

I have to wonder how many people are in relationships where they feel like they aren’t “allowed” have a different political voice with their partner, but make that voice heard at the ballot box.

Feel free to use a throwaway account.

In order to make the Mod team’s job a little easier tonight, and for the next couple of days, please post ALL of your Election related questions into this superthread.

I’ve received texts from campaigns requesting donations throughout the day today, including one that came less than 2 hours before polls close.

What can campaigns possibly do with donations given on election day? Especially donations that are so close to poll closure?

Is it actually PACs reaching out who will use contributions for future elevations, to give to national parties or other candidates? If so, why are they implying the reason is to help the candidate in the current election?

Sorry if this has been asked here already. Is there any site to track live election results? I’ve seen a few that have live trackers but nothing up yet. I know it’s still very early but I was wondering if there’s any sites with preliminary results up. Thanks

Recently Elon Musk has admitted that his 1M per day sweepstake was rigged in a case investigating the scam nature and potential election fraud of his giveaway. Has this changed your opinion of Musk or of the Republican Party at all?

This question is primarily aimed at those who identify as a Republican voter or as a conservative, but feel free to share your personal views of this case anyway if you aren't part of this demographic.

As an Australian, I was hoping you could clear something up for me.

I heard a college student being interviewed, and he said that since Trump has said that he will leave abortion ruling up to individual states, it’s irrelevant to your voting.

Doesn’t your voting work the same as here, whereby you don’t vote directly for your President, you vote for party representatives? If so, are they not the people in each state that would decide on something like an abortion ban?

Why is the argument that immigrants will ensure perpetual electoral victories for a political party in the U.S. considered flawed or different from instances where leaders like Erdoğan in Turkey have strategically used immigrant populations to bolster their political support?

I’m just curious to get your thoughts. I have an uncle saying as much. Take care all. 👍

Curious about those that were/are on the ground taking to voters. Any common themes you noticed? Common concerns? Who do you predict is going to win?

I know it won't happen, but what happens if someone who's still on the ballot but not running wins the election?

I just got back home from voting for trump. Are you excited or more nervous going into tonight?

Fox News’s Jesse Watters:

If I found out [my wife] Emma was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as an affair,” yelled Watters, who cheated on his first wife with Emma, then his 25-year-old employee. “That violates the sanctity of our marriage. What else is she keeping from me? What else has she been lying about?

“It’s over, Emma! That would be D-Day.”

And there is a state allow husband to watch how his wife vote
In North Carolina, it is legal. In response to similar concerns that went viral on social media, the State Board of Elections posted an excerpt of the state’s election law forbidding voters from sharing a booth “except that spouses may occupy the same voting booth if both wish to do so

Opinion polls are too close to call on the US presidential election — but punters on betting websites are backing the Republican candidate over Kamala Harris. This article explores the subject - but what do you think?

Specifically interested in Georgia since early voting alone hit just over 80% of total 2020 turnout.

And if you haven't yet, go vote!!

While yes, we are a constitutional republic. Our constitution lays out democracy. It becomes a simple if than equation if our constitution lays out a democracy, then we are a democracy. Please correct me if I’m wrong

I'm looking to follow along with all of the states tomorrow, but can't find a comprehensive list of all of the races... does anyone know if this exists anywhere? Thanks!

It seems like most rallies and campaign efforts are spent on new voters and the 18-24 crowd. What are your thoughts?

Trump seems very comfortable positioning himself against a communist/Marxist takeover of the US. Why has the democrat team not taken a similar stance against the threat of a fascist takeover of the US?

I’m Australian but follow some of the US election news from both campaigns. I’m wondering how Americans feel today and this week, and which way do you think the swing states will land? From an outsiders perspective I can’t gage from the media what the climate actually feels like, and which person is more likely (as of today) to win. Tell me your thoughts

What is the soonest we can know the results? What is the longest it could take?

Question.... why would the democrats not stop enabling the war/genocide in Gaza in order to increase their odds of winning the election? Isn't that something the majority of Americans want?

While yes, we are a constitutional republic. Our constitution lays out a democracy doesn’t it become a simple if/then, after that ? If our constitution lays out a democracy then we are a democracy.

Here are a few headlines with that title:

Is there any truth to this or is just a political attack to undermine Harris?

It seems like since 2016, presidential races have featured dozens of rallies, as many as 4-5 per candidate daily. If I'm correct. I would think the people going to these rallies are already enthusiastic supporters of the candidate holding the rally. I get the impression they usually require a sizable donation to gain admission.

If this is true other than raising funds, why do campaigns run these? The sheer quantity and the time needed by the candidates and their campaign staffs looks like these rallies, day after day after day must be grueling, leaving everyone exhausted.

Are there ever a significant number of undecided voters attending these things? Why do they do this?

Also, is holding this quantity of rallies a recent thing? I am pretty old and I just don't remember seeing large numbers of these before 10 years ago.

They are saying Harris most likely path to victory is winning Pennsylvania Michigan and Wisconsin (the blue wall) but what if trump wins Pennsylvania Michigan and Wisconsin? Wouldn’t he win?

And they are saying that trumps most likely path to victory is AZ Georgia North Carolina plus 1 blue wall state. But again if Harris got AZ Georgia North Carolina plus 1 blue wall state wouldn’t that cause her to win?
